Laws of Increasing Opportunity Cost
When switching production from one item to another as you increase, a higher rate of cost will be necessary to continue increasing.

  2. In point A, B, D and F, production is attainable and efficient.

  3. Point E is just plain unattainable, which could be because of technology or economic growth.

  1. Interesting video choice, it really helped me understand better what was quite confusing for me in class. The guy points out what I really couldn't see before hand, and I really have to commend you on this video choice- it helped me out more than I would have expected. This really helped me understand this in a way I wouldn't have been able to on my own (unless, of course, I found this video on my own), and that's really valuable, so thank you for that.
